AYRBURN CLASS CONCOURS CLASS

The inaugural Ayrburn Classic Concours Class launches in 2027 as the festival’s premier vehicle category, showcasing 40 carefully curated automobiles from across New Zealand and beyond. Displayed on Billy’s Lawn at the heart of the festival, vehicles will be judged on presentation, provenance, craftsmanship, rarity, and significance, competing for prestigious awards including Best in Show. Inspired by the world’s great concours events, the Concours Class represents the next evolution of the Ayrburn Classic as it continues to establish itself as one of the Southern Hemisphere’s leading motoring festivals.
